Chapter 179: After the Break
"Hum", the ominous voice sounded again, at least ten times the number of spikes shot out from the back of the expedition team and landed where the team had just passed, if the team's charge speed was a little slower, and the time to rush into the rat swarm was two seconds later, the team would be shrouded in the cover of the spike rain, so in the face of ten times the number of spike rain, even the demigods had to temporarily avoid, as for the five girls in the team whose strength was only the legendary rank, I am afraid they would all be hurt a lot.

Far behind him, the strong Rat King had already discovered that the forces he intercepted might not be able to hold back the target, so he had to mobilize a large force that had not yet completed the assembly and hurried up, sending a long-range strike towards the farthest position he could cover, but unfortunately, the attack was already in vain at a distance of more than ten meters.
"Knights, turn, charge. Catherine had already rushed past the position of the original block rat swarm, suddenly turned to face the approaching rat swarm behind her, the one-handed sword in her hand swung forward again, and the illusory knights quickly adjusted their direction, turned around half a circle to face the road they came, and once again launched a high-speed charge. The knight girl stood in place, waved her hand behind her, and said quickly, "You go, I'll come later." ”
Obviously, Catherine is unwilling to let the rat swarm chase after her behind, otherwise if she encounters something unexpected and slows down, it is easy to be attacked by the rat swarm behind her, and the danger is too great. Therefore, the Knight Maiden intends to let her knights temporarily hold off the enemy and buy enough time for her teammates to evacuate. Of course, this did not mean that Catherine intended to sacrifice herself, and once she decided that the time was right, she would disband the assembled legions and turn around to catch up with the larger army. The girl was not worried that she would not be able to catch up with the team, although she could not use the charge skill to accelerate without a goal, but the large army was advancing at the speed of Vivien, the slowest of them, and Catherine could catch up in a short time even if she was covered in scale armor and tried her best.
"Let's go. There was no need to communicate, Pannis had already read Catherine's plan, and pointed ahead: "Keep moving forward, run into the woods and we will be safe." ”
The members of the team looked at each other, and no one said a word of nonsense, not even Lina and Vivien, who didn't look at Catherine who had stopped, and ran forward without looking back. Everyone knows that there is a certain risk in taking on the task after the break, but everyone also knows better that if you say a little more nonsense and delay for a second more, the risk will increase exponentially.
Listening to the footsteps behind her, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Catherine's mouth, the girl did not feel dissatisfied or sad because her teammates did not hesitate to abandon her, now this is the performance of a mature team, and it is also the reaction she really expects.
"My knights will not let you pass. Catherine stood straight, staring at the charging knights, and muttered, "It is the duty of knights to guard, and in order to guard, knights do not hesitate to fight to the last man." ”
The illusory knights are charging, charging against the spike rain, because the speed has increased, although the number of arrow rats is ten times that of before, but the casualties of the knights are not more than before, even so, after each round of spike rain, there are still pieces of knights falling, turning into free energy and dissipating. However, the knights still persistently moved forward, trying their best to shorten the distance between them and the rats.
The Rat King is getting more and more anxious, although it is smart and strong, although it has been promoted to a demigod beast, but after all, it is still just an ordinary beast, simple thinking can not understand what kind of existence these enemies who die and will not leave corpses, if it knows that these are just troops summoned by the person who stopped farther away, it will definitely command the rat swarm to rush to the range to kill the summoner first, but unfortunately it does not know, in its eyes, only the knights who are getting closer and closer are the biggest threat, so it has to let the rat group focus all its long-range firepower on the knights, and let the people of the expedition disappear from view。
"Yes, that's it. "Although every fallen knight will give Catherine a heavy blow, with her current Legendary defense, she can still withstand it. Therefore, although the girl's face became more and more pale, she still showed great satisfaction, nodded and said to herself: "Attack as much as you want, the longer you drag on here, the safer everyone will be." ”
When the heroic knights braved the spiked rain, rushed through a distance of more than a hundred meters, and finally stepped on the position of the rat swarm, there were less than fifty left, and in the more and more rats that had gathered more and more than three thousand, the fifty knights seemed so small, but even so the knights did not give up the battle, lowered their bodies and brandished their riding spears, and started hand-to-hand combat with the giant rats under them.
The most powerful of the arrows and rats is naturally the long-range attack from the spikes in the back, but this does not mean that they lack the means of melee attacks, in fact, their claws are also very sharp, and the bite force is also amazing, but the strength of the long-range attack is just overshadowed by the edge.
"You've done your best, valiant warriors. Seeing that the knights she had summoned were overwhelmed by the rats one by one, Catherine put her sword in front of her, the spine of which was pressed between her eyebrows, and offered her gratitude with knightly etiquette: "Thank you, your task is complete, and we will take care of the rest." ”
The faint sound of the horn finally stopped, and the last knight returned to nothingness, and the rats returned to their original formation after a moment of confusion, and finally turned their aggressive gaze to Catherine, who was standing far away.
"Do you just remember me now? Warcraft is Warcraft. The knight girl sighed at the rats that began to move again, relaxed her serious expression, and said with a relaxed face: "It's late now, goodbye, big rats." ”
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else around, Catherine naughtily stuck out her tongue at the rats and made a face, and did not forget to wave goodbye before leaving, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw Pannis standing more than thirty meters behind her, covering her mouth and secretly smiling happily.
The girl's face, which had been pale from being hit too much, was immediately flushed, and her eyebrows gradually erected. Of course, she knew that the purpose of Pannis's stay was to let herself use him as a target to release the support charge, so that she could use the high-speed support charge to rush to the road, so as to achieve the purpose of saving physical strength. However, this did not prevent Catherine from feeling shy about the performance just now, and it did not prevent the girl from raising the one-handed sword that had not yet been withdrawn.
"I didn't see anything. Looking at the girl who brandished the long sword and rushed to him in an instant with a support charge, Pannis looked frightened, jumped backwards like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, he opened up a distance to support the charge, and shouted miserably: "I didn't see you sticking out your tongue and making a face, I really didn't see it."
